How to Find the Light

How to Find the Light - (5159)

Two Ways

This post gives two ways to find the light inside of ourselves.

First Way

Dedicate ourselves to periods of intense observation of what arises inside of ourselves.

See what arises adn look deeply seeing what is behind it. Seeing what is it really. Discover the new, know ourselves better.

From practice, it is better to dedicate five intense minutes then stop and carry on with our day's tasks. A little later on do another five minutes. Doing this is better than trying the whole day but not really doing it intensely.

The end goal of course is to observe intensely the whole day intensely. But we have to start off doing it right and build up the right way of doing it. Not doing it wrongly and continue doing it wrongly getting frustrated in the process.

For intense observation we need a good amount of alert attention. Which we all have. Our attention must be fine tuned, sharp and alert to catch the wispy thoughts and feelings.

Second Way

The other avenue is to interact externally and observe how our psychology clashes. In the sparks of the clash is the opportunity for light.

Imperative is to observe intensely!

We can do this by reading, talking, walking and in general it all comes about by observing our judging and our stating of beliefs and concepts.

To whatever we observe question its truth and use our judgements to discover how we are actually what we judge.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
